24-year-old Angel Pantoja Medina was found dead last week underneath a bridge in San Juan. Apparently Angel had expressed a desire to be propped up and "stand" for his own funeral. His family wished to respect his wishes. So the local funeral home used a "special embalming treatment" so the dead Angel could "stand" next to his coffin during the wake. During a three day wake.

Yep, for three days, a dead guy "stood" in his mothers house while friends and relatives came by to pay their respects. Some mourners even kissed the stiff.

Rev-If you are going to put Leo loyal 77 probation, you might as well put me on the list as well.
I stand with my Team.
For some reason, I thought you were part of the team. Are you part of team America or are you part of team New York?
You know the rules. You are either with us or against us and if you are against us, we send a pack of militant Brazillians to bring me back your balls on a sharpened stick.
Think about it. We love you and want to continue loving you.

J-Dub,
I appreciate taking one for the team. You are tough but fair.
You are the superglue that holds the team together.
For your kindness I give you a standing ovation.

Leo,
Please have your men detatch the nuts before arrival. I repeat detach the nuts before arrival. I prefer only touching my nuts not some stinky russian nuts. Hence the sharpened stick.
Thanks buddy.
Perhaps we will celebrate with a keg stand.

It had to be some asshole projects living gangbanger from the island that came up with this thing. I heard about this about 2 days ago when it was on the news, of course i thought "what the hell were they thinking?" Dude was shot 3 or 4 times in the back.

Before I died I found a potion:
So I gave some to my dog, when he began to beg
and then he licked his bowl and he looked at me
and did the wild thing on my leg
he used to scratch and bite me
before he was much much meaner
but now all the poodles run to my house for the funky cold medina

you know what I'm saying
I don't wanna be layin down cuz the dog
might funk my cold medina.

"I love how the deceased still has his sunglasses on. Indoors and dead, still needs his shades."

Uhh (yuck). Well, your eyes liquefy after death. So either he's gonna be standing there with his eyes closed, or they're gonna put some marbles in the sockets, or he sports the shades. It's more gangsta anyway.

I like how they said he was found dead under a bridge. Couple questions come to mind - what exactly happened that he died under a bridge. If they had really wanted to do him a favor they should have tried to keep that from happening in the first place. Kids these days....

Just looking at him and hi brother, you may have an idea of how he was found under the bridge. Just need the number of bullets and the places they were found to detail the history.
Uh, of course, and need more investigations to assure if it was an act of rivalry or "shut you mouth, you say too much".

What constitutes "special embalming treatment" in order for Funky Cold Mr. Medina to "stand"? Outside of impalement, what other options are there? Lean him in the corner? Velcro his Nikes to the carpet? I'm curious to know how they stood him up.

It is my understanding that if you fill the circulatory system with Superglue it will harden into a rigid infrastructure. Unlike bones, which require muscles and ligaments to hold them together into a skeleton, the circulatory system can stand on its own.

You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use

And did you think this fool could never win
Well look at me, I'm coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

Once I never could hope to win
You starting down the road leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now

YOU MOTHER FUCKERS...HOW FUCKING DARE YOU MAKE FUN OF THIS TRAGEDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES, IT IS VERY INTRIGUING BUT THIS VERY YOUNG MAN IS STILL DEAD YOU BITCHES. I JUST WANT TO SAY, WOULD IT BE FUNNY IF IT WERE YOUR DEAD FAMILY MEMBER....REGARDLESS OF THEIR STRANGE WISH. SO TO ALL YOU FUCKS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA ON YOUR SHIT IF IT WERE YA'LL. DAMN THATS NOT FUNNY ANYMORE IS IT BITCHES??????????!!!!!!!

Though difficult to refute such an articulate and upper-cased argument, I thought about this. And yes, it's still funny.
